Manual Handling in the Construction Sector
Manual Handling in the Construction Sector
Construction has the highest rate of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These are mostly back injuries from manual handling.
Every employer must make sure that anyone who is liable to perform manual handling activities during their normal work, or who supervises those employees, gets the correct level of information, instruction and training so that they can work safely and competently without risk to themselves or others.
The course is intended for those working in building management, the construction industry, and those who work with facilities-type contracts or within facilities functions.
During the day, you will develop an awareness of your responsibilities in principle and practice for safe manual handling in the construction sector.
No previous health and safety training is required.

Customer Feedback
“The Regional Training Agency seeks to provide relevant, practical and professional high quality training for support staff in schools. Working in association with GCS Training has meant we’ve been able to offer hands-on training in the workshop, for site staff wishing to improve their practical skills. The facilities and training were excellent, and received outstanding evaluations from our delegates. We’re thrilled with the result and look forward to working with GCS Training at Gower College Swansea again in the future.
